MySix NearbyChests

Materials in containers standing near a crafting station count towards what you craft and upgrade there.

• Range: within 10 metres by default, and configurable.
• The nearest chest is emptied first.
• Connection beams: the station draws its own beam to each container it took from, so you can see what is linked.
• The building hammer is deliberately unaffected: it still takes everything from your own pack.

Part of the MySix mod suite. Every mod in the suite needs MySix Core, which adds the in-game mysix command for reading and changing settings. On a server, settings are owned by the server: an admin changes a value once and every connected player picks it up.

Installing

Install with a mod manager - the Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale and r2modman all work - or unzip the DLL into BepInEx/plugins yourself. Everyone playing together should run the same versions.

Settings

The Settings wiki page lists this mod's 3 settings: what each does, its choices and default, who can change it, and the exact command to type. In short: press F5 in game to open the console and type mysix to list every setting, mysix set <setting> <value> to change one.

Languages

Every MySix mod supports all the languages Valheim offers: whatever language you play the game in, the text these mods show is in that language too. Abenaki is the one exception for now - there it shows in English, as we could not find a translation we trust. We mainly test in English, but we will do our best to support every language the game supports; if something reads wrong in yours, please let us know.

Note on achievements

Valheim switches achievements off for anyone with a mod installed. MySix Mods Not Cheating, part of the MySix bundle, keeps them working.

Version 1.0.13. The Changelog tab lists what changed in each release.

Changelog - Nearby Chests

What changed in Nearby Chests, newest release first. Each MySix mod has its own version number, and only a release that changed Nearby Chests is listed here.

1.0.10

• Every language the game offers. All the text the MySix mods show - item names, descriptions and messages - now follows the language you play Valheim in, using the game's own words for things like the armour stand, block and inventory. Abenaki shows English for now, as we could not find a translation we trust. We mainly test in English but will do our best to support every language the game supports.

1.0.3

• The connection beam actually shows. It was a single three-second flash fired at the moment of the craft, while you are looking at the crafting panel rather than at the chest, and its near end sat at the chest's base - inside the ground. There is now a beam to every chest the station can draw from, up for as long as the crafting window is open, starting from the middle of the chest. Note the game itself closes the crafting window about two metres from a station, which takes the links with it.

1.0.2

• New: first release. Crafting and upgrading at a station also use the materials in chests standing nearby, 10 metres by default. The building hammer is deliberately unaffected. Materials are put back if the craft does not go through, so a refused craft cannot leave a chest emptied for nothing.
